It seems to make no sense to use a device designed to be tiny and lightweight in a full-sized car when a laptop could be used and have all the advantages of a big CPU and a screen to display stuff. I think that the system would probably end up using several computers in a network, assuming this is an autonomous vehicle with vision, radar etc etc. I assume that the idea is to use RC-style servos, but I would be surprised if even the biggest ones were up to the task. Hacking the CAN bus of a self-parking car would be an interesting solution. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
